This 2000 TVR Cerbera Speed 12 was the only TVR-built road car and shot to fame when it was used as a model for the Gran Turismo Computer Game. One of the rarest and most revered supercars of the last 25 years, it is up for auction at the Silverstone Auctions Sale of Iconic and Classic Cars at Supercar Fest, at Sywell Aerodrome, Northampton.
Heading up what promises to be a fantastic sale line-up of iconic supercars, is this Cerbera Speed 12, is a defining example of its kind. This is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional and unique motor car, fully sanctioned by the marque and coming from diligent enthusiast-ownership.
The vehicle, known as the TVR Project 7/12, first appeared at the 1996 Birmingham Motor Show and dominated the show once it was unveiled, attracting more crowds than any other car in the show. The number "7" referred to the 7.7 litre (actually 7.73 L) engine, and "12" for the number of cylinders in the engine. TVR claimed that the engine would have a power output of more than 800 hp (597 kW) and be faster than the McLaren F1.
Fully prepared by TVR engineers over two years, this road-going GT1 car is uniquely fitted with the correct race-bred 7.7-litre, 840bhp V12 engine and the final evolution of the race car carbon-fibre bodywork. Originally offered for sale directly by TVR’s Peter Wheeler, this car have been widely featured in the motoring press.
Supercar Fest, now it its fifth year, is growing into one of the leading supercar events in the UK and Silverstone Auctions are delighted to announce that as part of the event this year there will be a special sale of Ferraris in association with the Ferrari Owners’ Club GB.

This sparkling Ferrari Dino 246 GTS will feature in this special sale. Originally delivered new to Maranello Concessionaires in September 1973, destined for Ferrari Dealer Sytners of Nottingham. It was one of sixteen UK-supplied 246 GTS to be factory-fitted with the 'Wide wheel/Housings' option. Just two owners from new with the last having owned it 38 years.'
But the ‘super cars’ don’t stop there! The Ford RS200 is probably the most evocative Group B rally car of its generation and this stunning low-mileage example in Diamond White is a must for any collection of Performance Fords.

This is a real 'pride and joy' example of the very rare 'Group B rally cars for the road' and is on offer from 32 years of enthusiastic private ownership. It was purchased in 1990 from Alan Fenwick, Director of the RS200 Owners Club with just 152 miles indicated and has now covered a warranted 8,442 miles. The car is complemented by a hugely detailed history file dating back to new, including photographs illustrating the comprehensive restoration by Arch Motors in 2014, the company that built the tubs for the car in period.

Also joining the Supercar Fest Sale line up is a supremely elegant and glamorous cabriolet - this stunning Alfa Romeo 6C 2500SS carries two-seater cabriolet coachwork by Carrozzeria Pinin Farina. Powered by Alfa Romeos own double-overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine this beautiful example was restored in 2009 and still remains in very good order. This car achieved a First Place award at the prestigious Villa d'Este Concours in 1949.

Silverstone Auctions are also proud to offer this beautiful Carrera 2.Garaged and cosseted all of its life, this is a super example of the last of the air cooled 911s in exactly the specification you would want and, short of going back onto its German plate, it's about as original as you could hope to find.
The vendor purchased the Porsche in July 1997 from Porsche Zentrum in Dusseldorf whilst working in Germany. A few months later, he returned to the UK bringing the Porsche with him ensuring a continuity of maintenance that’s truly impressive over his 26 years of ownership. The cars service record second to none with 19 stamps in the book with Official Porsche Dealers Reading (AFN) and Swindon.

This right-hand drive, Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec will also be crossing the auction block at this sale. First registered in Japan in February 1999 by its original owner who kept it until 2015. It was enjoyed by its second keeper for a further two years and subsequently exported to the UK and registered here in October 2017, at which point it was purchased by our vendor to add to his private collection.
Finished in gleaming Nissan White (QM1), the car's incredible condition belies its 24 years and 164,085km (101,958m) and it has obviously been cherished and represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a rare example of arguably the fastest appreciating modern-classic in the fastest appreciating sector of the market.

Another Ferrari joining the sale is this lovely Ferrari California, first introduced at the Paris Salon in 2008, the California had been conceived as a ‘Grand Tourer’ rather than an out-and-out sports car and was intended to appeal to those who might otherwise opt for a Bentley, an Aston Martin or an SL-Class Mercedes-Benz. Less demanding to drive than its siblings and therefore more approachable during everyday, 'real world' motoring, the notional 2+2-seater more than fulfilled its brief of attracting a whole new generation of customers to the Ferrari fold.
On offer from its fourth registered keeper, this impressively specified, right-hand drive California 30 was supplied new by Dick Lovett Ferrari in Swindon and first registered in 2012. It has covered just 19,980 miles from new and is supported by a comprehensive Ferrari Main dealer service history.
